What I’m about to say will probably hurt a bunch of leftist writers who cry foul whenever they title their articles simply for click bait.   If you don’t like our response, I guess maybe you should choose another profession if you are unable to take the heat created by doing what you do.   You see in today’s society; nobody takes the time to read anything.   I am literally writing this with the expectation only 10-15 people will read what I put down here.

Using these percentages with the population we get the following. ·          97,710,000 gun owners in America o    Assuming those...
